    Default Off-season quiz game

    I'm mildly bored while the other half is watching Strictly, and have been struck with an idea for some Saints-related off-season fun.

    Here's the idea: the quiz master takes the first paragraph from a player's profile on the Saints Heritage site (player profiles accessible from the drop-down menu on the right), removes any reference to the player's name and posts it in this thread. First poster to correctly identify the player becomes the new quiz master. No Googling!

    I'll start things off:

    "[...] was born on the third of November 1979 in Lancaster. The forward signed from Vale of Lune RU in 1997 and made his debut against Salford Reds on the 7th. of March 1999. [...] Scored his first points in his Saints career during the 2001 season on the ninth of March in the Challenge Cup tie against Huddersfield. His early performances for the Saints illustrated a thirst for hard work and a desire to do well in rugby league."

    This likeable prop forward joined Saints from Wigan. He made his debut against Widnes and helped Saints to a 38 points to 20 victory. A willingness to graft hard in the pack saw its reward when he was named substitute for the 2004 Challenge cup Final at the Millennium Stadium

    Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.

    This likeable, reliable winger had a great turn of speed and could finish with the best of them. He scored 11 tries and kicked 8 goals in his time at the Saints. Ian continued his career at Hull KR and then played a significant role in the all conquering Featherstone Rovers side of 2011 when they reigned supreme in the Cooperative National Championship.

    This 6ft 7" Man United fan, forced the Rugby League to change the rules after this incident in 1990.

    Who scored the winning try in the 92/93 Lancashire cup tie at Knowsley Road which beat Widnes 10-8? Another clue he kicked a drop goal to beat Leeds 15-14 again at Knowsley Road in a regal trophy tie later that year?.

    As this has gone quiet, I'll start another:

    "[...] was born in Rhodesia (now known as Zimbabwe) and was signed from Canterbury Bulldogs in the 2001 season. His debut was in the 23 points to 18 home defeat to Leeds Rhinos in September 2001. [...] was a substitute that day. One week later [...] started on the left wing as Saints went down heavily to Wigan at the JJB Stadium. He subsequently was transferred to Warrington to continue his career."
